| I think you're going to have some problems with that schedule. 9PM PST is 12AM EST, which means anybody that has a usual workweek (mon-fri) is not going to be able to listen since we're too busy sleeping at that time. |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Jul 28 2008, 06:14 AM |
| On the other hand, my shows are at 11 PM PST, which puts it well out of grasp of lots of the eastern United States. But listeners show up anyway. I figure he can give it a shot. As long as his slot doesn't go over anyone else's (I don't think it does) there's no problem with that. Just needs to get himself a good mic. Who knows, he could be the next Dave Rodgers. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Jul 28 2008, 06:18 AM | ||
Yeah, but you do it on the weekend...  |
| Posted by: Tessou Jul 28 2008, 07:46 AM | ||
The time is one thing, but the day is the issue. Sunday night is never the best choice. Perhaps he could take on the (early) weekday nights like me? |
| Posted by: Alastair Jul 28 2008, 10:55 AM |
| early weekday nights? so like mon-thu at like 8:00 pm PST |
| Posted by: Tessou Jul 28 2008, 11:18 AM |
| Well, I usually started my midnight shifts at 10PM EST, which is 7PM PST. |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Jul 28 2008, 11:23 AM |
| Alastair, you could start from 5PM PST. |
| Posted by: Alastair Jul 28 2008, 11:29 AM | ||
Thats kind of hard to do on my end  |
| Posted by: Tessou Jul 28 2008, 11:37 AM |
| Okay then. Since neither myself nor InitialDRulz are performing on our regular Saturday night timeslots (9PM-11PM PST), you could easily muscle yourself in there so you're after Hashi and before Nomake Wan's slots. That's two hours of free time that the other DJs usually negotiate over, so I'm sure you could get yourself situated right there. You would have a primetime slot, and the chat room is always filled out on Saturdays, so you'd have it pretty well made. |
| Posted by: Alastair Jul 28 2008, 11:41 AM |
| That sounds good to me. Also perry was saying lastnight that if no one is Live on weekdays or whatever I could randomly broadcast is that correct or am i missing something? |
| Posted by: Tessou Jul 28 2008, 11:53 AM |
| The wonderful thing about weekday schedules (which I quickly noted and took advatage of with the Midnight Shift) is that there is a ton of free time that anybody can take if they want to. The radio's overlying rule is that the Eurobeat/Wangan Midnight music has the floor from 4AM-4PM PST. Anything that doesn't encroach on that block is fair game. Dave Rodgers played stuff early in the morning because he could. I played some epic shows on weekday nights because I could. The radio has a lot of freedom about it. So long as you don't bust the very few cardinal rules, you're golden. Just find something that works with both yourself and the audience. |
| Posted by: APX Jul 28 2008, 07:18 PM |
| Wait, the next dave rodgers? Hold on.... LULZ, hell no he's not gonna be the next dave rodgers. Though this alas kid had some good music, Dave's shows were just epic. <3 |
| Posted by: Alastair Jul 28 2008, 08:08 PM |
i may not be the next tesso, nomake wan, dave rodgers, or eiji. im just my own person  EDIT:: taking request tonight!!!!! 9:00 PST- 11:00 PST |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 1 2008, 10:17 AM |
| So i got my headset yesterday! and im all ready to host satuday nights 9:00pm pst to 11:00 PM pst |
| Posted by: InitialDRulz Aug 1 2008, 09:29 PM |
| Err that ain't possible as Tesso is on that timeslot... |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 1 2008, 10:04 PM | ||
tesso said that  |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Aug 1 2008, 10:32 PM |
| You can take my slot for saturday night. I won't be home until 11PM EST. |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 1 2008, 10:33 PM |
| Sure ill Take your slot hashiriyaR32 but as for a official slot, any hope for me to get in |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Aug 1 2008, 11:12 PM |
| Not very likely, sorry. |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 2 2008, 01:41 PM |
| Oh, i suppose then the idea of me being a IDW DJ fails :\ |
| Posted by: Tessou Aug 2 2008, 01:57 PM |
| All is not lost, my friend. Remember, the weekday schedules (aside from Friday) are completely open aside from the mandatory eurobeat/wangan midnight block by the server. You could come on at any time outside of those bounds since nobody has a slot at those times. Why do you think I do my shows on weekday nights?  |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 2 2008, 02:42 PM |
| Haha good point tessou very good point EDIT:: well i have come to realize that the DJ name i have currently is pretty lame i admit it :/ so now i have to debate with my other options, yup sencei can;t think of anything it's up to you! 1. Dj Viral 2. spazzaxel 3. Garlock |
| Posted by: Lebon14 Aug 3 2008, 01:12 AM |
| DJ Viral. If you are a Gurren Lagann fan, why would you hesitate. XD |
| Posted by: APX Aug 3 2008, 01:33 AM |
like in the chat, DJ iFail.  |
| Posted by: Tetsuya Hikari Aug 3 2008, 02:21 AM |
| If all else fails, just go with DJ Alastair |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 8 2008, 06:01 PM |
| So i suppose i have a decided with a new IDW dj name! Dj alastair as suggested by our very own kikumaru!, so if any mods read this if possible please change the topic! also Sunday night or Monday night im going to play all Four Episodes of the Epic series Freeman's Mind. which is a slight spoof of the video game series Half Life so tune in! |
| Posted by: Tetsuya Hikari Aug 8 2008, 07:58 PM |
| Glad to be of service Now, instead of hoping the mods come in to see you have changed your name..how about just editing your post instead in the: https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=28931 thread instead? I can't speak for everyone, but I'll say my piece. I look forward to seeing what kind of addition you become to the cast of DJs here. Don't let us down |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 10 2008, 08:35 PM |
| Sorry im not hosting tonight at my regular time 9:00PM PST last night was pretty damned tragic i kind of got raped, i need a little time to myself |
| Posted by: Alastair Aug 24 2008, 11:05 AM |

| Posted by: Alastair Aug 24 2008, 12:56 PM |
| I dont have cyber trance 1 Reomaru haha |
| Posted by: Alastair Sep 6 2008, 11:31 AM |
| Last sunday i played a mix of both Guilty Gear XX and Gurren Lagann odd combo was odd but it worked. For this sunday's show i have nothing planned, so that means i will be taking request. TUNE IN! |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 6 2008, 11:40 AM |
| I said this to Fragger, and I'll pass it on to you as well. Start a basic playlist of about an hour's length. That will give the listeners something to build upon for their requests. I'll try my best to listen in.  |
| Posted by: Alastair Sep 6 2008, 01:25 PM |
| Sure dunno what i will put in the playlist though :/ |
| Posted by: Tetsuya Hikari Sep 7 2008, 10:03 PM |

| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 6 2008, 06:40 PM |
| Hi there, I'm kinda confused about all those time-charts about when everyone plays... Especially when it comes to your shows (I've listened to most of the others already). Can you tell me when your show is on? I'm kinda new to this whole online-radio-thingie... I mean I'm sitting in Germany and listening to a mostly american station... I guess that happened to the most germans about 50 years ago *evilgrin* |
| Posted by: Alastair Dec 6 2008, 06:48 PM |
| My shows are usuially sunday or monday nights at 9:00pm PST. Hope that is helpful! |
| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 6 2008, 07:59 PM |
| Well... I guess it is, I just have to get the grip on the whole timezone calculations.... Oh man, while reading my posts I get the feeling I'm about 12 years old... So I will just ask one of the possibly dumbest questions possible... how many days/hours will it be until your next show? |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Dec 6 2008, 08:10 PM |
| From the time of your post to the time of the next show....25 hours. That's 1 day and 1 hour |
| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 6 2008, 08:18 PM |
| Hey, thanky for that exact answer... I guess I'm getting kinda stooopid shortly before sunrise (it's 5.14 am and I'm awake for 20 hours)... *hehe* Now I'm listening to you, HashiriyaR32 right? |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Dec 6 2008, 08:23 PM |
| Yes, I'm on the air right now. |
| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 7 2008, 03:27 AM |
 Now that I'm awake again I kinda understand the schedule better. Sorry for beeing a pain yesterday. I'm not really able to do maths at that time after drinking wine  |
| Posted by: Tessou Dec 7 2008, 03:47 AM |
| Actually, no, that was way wrong because I am an idiot when it comes to time zone calculations. PST is GMT-8, and Germany is located in GMT+1, so 9:00PM PST Monday should be 12PM (noon) Tuesday GMT+1. NOON. You will hear it at NOON, demmit. |
| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 7 2008, 10:11 AM |
| Noon *nods*, okay... Too bad I'm only able to listen to radio while at home, so on weekends and in the evenings... But what I've heard until now was really nice... A small bit to tell you which DJ is on at the beginning of each show would be nice, though... |
| Posted by: HashiriyaR32 Dec 7 2008, 03:17 PM | ||
Tesso, Alastair's showtime is 9:00PM PST SUNDAY. Which means it'll be 6AM (GMT +1) Monday. You REALLY FAIL time zones, but I'll let it slip since you originally made that post after you got back from work. |
| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 7 2008, 03:56 PM |
Now I guess I will just look at the timezone thingie that's with my clock because you guys are starting to confuse me somehow...  |
| Posted by: Alastair Dec 7 2008, 04:08 PM |
| You will get used to it YumeChan. I really dont know what to play tonight, i have to much music on Winamp. |
| Posted by: YumeChan Dec 8 2008, 09:31 AM |
| *hehe* I know what you mean... Too bad I couldn't listen to your show yesterday...But well... if you ask me what kind of Songs you should play, I would almost always say either popular Para²-Songs (just love "My sweet banana" at the moment, it's so weird) or really crazy popmusic or electro-stuff (i.e. Omodaka, I guess that doesn't really fit here.... ) |
| Posted by: Tessou Dec 8 2008, 09:39 AM | ||
And I guess I'll let that slip by because I'm actually feeling somewhat nice today. |
| Posted by: Alastair Dec 18 2008, 06:13 PM |
Sence last weeks show was a failure with me having to redo my whole winamp playlist I promise that this weeks show will be made of 100% awesome. How?

| Posted by: Nomake Wan Oct 4 2009, 08:46 PM |
| I still think it's silly. If no one posts in a DJ thread and you want to post news so that people see it... why can't you? Ugh. Needs more automerge/autobump feature if they intend to enforce that shit. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Oct 4 2009, 09:22 PM | ||
Don't get me wrong though, I agree with you fully, I've had that problem myself in my own DJ thread. Yeah, a new feature like that would be very welcome... |

| Posted by: Alastair Apr 29 2011, 12:47 PM |
| Hey there everyone this is Alastair~ Your most likely wondering where i have been since my last radioshow! Well let me tell you, i have been working, living, and attending school at SF state to get my degree in music! Now since my first semester is pretty much done this only means one thing! Time for the show to go back on!! I missed all of my listeners and all the people in IRC chat! That means you NomakeWan And PikachuFragger and that crazy XDNX dude. |
| Posted by: Alastair Jan 27 2012, 09:51 PM |
| Hey there everyone...i hate to say it but sadly, i will not be doing anymore shows. I had fun on the air but it's time to move on to REAL radioshows and podcasts. |
| Posted by: THE_HONDA_CG2 Jan 27 2012, 09:56 PM |
| What! Alastair! Don't do this to me! I haven't even gotten the chance to listen to one of your shows yet! Please, just do one more before you go! |
| Posted by: Alastair Jan 27 2012, 09:59 PM |
| I no longer have winamp and shoutcast doesn't function with Windows Vista |
| Posted by: Nomake Wan Jan 28 2012, 01:02 AM | ||
Shoutcast functions perfectly with Vista and Windows 7. If I had to guess, however, I'd guess that you mean that the "Push to Talk" button doesn't adjust the microphone volume. You'd be right, it's a known bug listed right on the wiki which they're working on. However, that volume can be adjusted through the Vista/7 audio panel easily. I mean, I've done my shows on Vista/7 since I built this computer in... 2009? 2008? I forget. But since you're moving on to real radio shows and real podcasts, I can't really argue. Enjoy yourself! |
